lew udyS ago tnaC as cnOlce between evils he
would rather see THURMAN appointed on the
interstate commission than COOLEY. That
was good pointer for the president. The
man whom GOULD doesn't want is the man
with the best recommendation.
r.
There is no special reason why Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND should feel under obligations to consult
Mr.. GOULD's wishes in any matter. GOULD
wasted a great deal of money in trying To
dc feat CLEvELAND'S election.

JOHN l.. SULLIVAN has written a story
which has just been published over his sig
nature in an Eastern sporting paper. He is
now waiting for an invitation from the Chi
cago Literary club to deliver an address III
that city. Mr.. SULLIVAN is ambitious to
stand where LOWELL fell.

An ordinance now under consideration in
the common council of Richmord, Va, re-
quires the bibulously inclined people of that
city TO pay Il license fee of one dollar year
for the privilege of drinking malt and
alcoholic liquors, the money to be applied to
the public school fund. The main argument
i'll favor OF the ordinance is that the cause of
ducation in that section needs stimulating.

Educators arc coming to the conclusion that
the new system of teaching children 10 read
without first having learned to spell is faulty,
and are advocating return to the old system
of the spelling book first and the reader after
wards. Teachers in grammar schools, which
are now filled with children taught under the
rev system, unanimously declare that they
never had q worse set OF readers.

They have very small way of doing big
things over in the old country. The city Of
Berlin only appropriated $4,000 for the cele
bratiOn Of the Emperor WILLIAMS Goth birth
day. st. Paul can spend more than that on
one toboggan parade

ALDACE f. WALKER, the New England
member of the interstate commission, studied
law with Senator EDMUNDS. He is A. years
old and member of the Vermont state SEN
ate. During his legislative career he has
made the railway pi oblem Il special study.
He is more of stranger to the public than
the other members of the commission. He
was appointed on the recommendation of
Mr.. EDMUNDs, which was very kind of the
president, considering that Mr.. EDMUNDs had
SO recently remarked thar all of Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS appointments were failures.

a Kansas City man owns a fan that once
belonged to MARTHA WASHINGTON. On it is
painted portrait of WASHIN GTON at II. He
is dressed in military uniform and all around
him are angels and goddesses. That is the
kind of a boy WASHINGTON was.
| The poet of the Chicago Tribune has found
a theme worthy Of his genius. He writes:
| Comic opera troupes have trouble
OF the sort that can't be fixed,
And they are bound to sizz and bubble
Worse than Seidlitz powders mixed,
Amt it so?
1t is, neighbor. There's more truta than
| poetry in your rhyme.

The Missouri river has had a BOOM The
river runs in a southerly direction, but the
boom extends in every direction and the
farther it gets away from home the bigger 1t
gets. After reading a description of it in
some Of our Eastern exchanges we are sur
prised that people in Bible times made such a
fuss over NOAH's little flood.

In his communication to the GLOBE this
morning Health Officer ONES misapprehends
the statistical part of the CLOSES article re-
ferred to in the communication. The state
Lieut Ilidt lue lnOr4aIlLy ITOtu ulpntnerid eX-
ceeded that of all other contagious diseases
did not refer to St. Paul. but to the country
at large, and was made upon the authority of
an eminent New York physician, who re-
Gently gave some statistics in support of the
statement. There Is no other American city
with as clean health record as St. Paul,
and but very few with as an efficient health
department. The GLOBES remarks were in
tended TO he more of q pauroDa
than criticism.

Mayor HARRISON was only fooling the

nation all the time, but he wanted it to come
on silver platter. Now he is going to fool
them again. He is going to be elected with
out half irving. CARTER is prO bono puhlico
